Suggest Treatment For Frequent Bacterial Infections In The Bladder

I am haviing recurring bacterial infections. I use new catheters at each catherization and believe that the left hand pulling the forskin back across the head may be the source of the bacteria. I am now using the antiseptic towelletter to wash the fingers that held the penis before inserting the catheter. I don't know yet if this is the right thing to do as I am trying to get rid of the bacterial infection in the bladder. Is this a good idea?

Hello,
Welcome to HCM

Based on the history and symptoms it appears that you have UTI.Please get your routine urine test and urine culture done to find out the organisms causing this infection and antibiotics to which they are sensitive to.

Take broad spectrum antibiotics like Cefexine along with urinary antiseptic like Nitrofurantoin twice daily and urine alkaliser thrice daily. Later on switch on to appropriate antibiotics as per culture report.


Drink lots of water to keep your urine dilute This will help to control dysuria.
Thank you.
